Although the modern pizza was invented in Naples Italy pizza

Although the modern pizza was invented in Naples, Italy, pizza is a particularly big business in the United States, with lots and lots of people ordering pies every year. Answer the following question:

An environmental advocacy group called the Cardboard Conservation League argues that Americans waste far too much cardboard due to their practice of ordering several medium-sized pizzas when they could simply order a smaller number of large ones. They argue that if people had the right to order any size of pizza they wanted, no matter how large, and thus avoid ordering multiple pizzas, Americans could save millions of dollars’ worth of cardboard every year. In addition, the group claims, Americans could cut their amount of cardboard waste due to pizza-box usage in half. Evaluate the validity of these claims, and then give an opinion about whether the League’s recommendation should be adopted.

Solution

Claim1:

\"Americans waste far too much cardboard due to their practice of ordering several medium-sized pizzas when they could simply order a smaller number of large ones\"

It\'s valid and practically possible because ordering large ones will use less cardboard for packaging and transportation is also possible upto allowed limited size.

Claim2:

if people had the right to order any size of pizza they wanted, no matter how large, and thus avoid ordering multiple pizzas, Americans could save millions of dollars’ worth of cardboard every year

It also seems valid because ordering large once will take less space and save cardboard hence will result in saving some money.

Claim3:

Americans could cut their amount of cardboard waste due to pizza-box usage in half.

ordering large ones will not save exactly half if you calculate surface area of larger one and sum or smaller ones but still larger one will take use very less cardboard as compared to several smaller boxes. so this claim is also valid.

----------------

Considering validity of all those 3 claims I think League’s recommendation should be adopted.
